Chapter 209

209. Chapter 209: Wanfa Escapes (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

On the surface of a desolate planet.

Looking up, one could see the cosmic background of countless shattered star rings, exceptionally vast and magnificent.

Fang Xing's figure quietly emerged, looking at the other person who appeared with him.

"Are you my opponent this time?"

Opposite him was a young man wearing white martial arts clothes, his body instantly transforming into thunder.

By the time Fang Xing recovered, the young man's hand blade had already reached the top of his head.

Thunder Domain!

S-level martial art—Seven Kills of Wild Thunder!

"External Landscape?"

The young man's hand blade, filled with confidence, was easily caught by Fang Xing: "Consider it strong Fifth Realm combat power; it's already not bad..."

He flicked his hand, and the young man's figure retreated continuously.

By the time he recovered, he could only see a finger that was continuously enlarging.

The skin on that finger was crystalline and delicate, like the most perfect work of art, yet the Jin Dan Origin Power it carried crushed the young man's Thunder Domain like dry wood, pointing at his forehead.

Bang!

The young man's headless corpse fell to the ground, and following it was the prompt from the virtual space:

【Ding! You have defeated your opponent and gained one point!】

"As expected of the Holo-Universe Company... the threshold for the event they hold is very high; the initial screening likely requires strong Fifth Realm combat power to pass, right?"

Through this battle, Fang Xing already knew that the gold content of this martial arts tournament was indeed extraordinary.

As for encountering a martial artist?

This was also something that couldn't be helped; who let the Martial Way spread the most widely and have the most audience in the Federation.

If it weren't for the lack of top-tier combat power, perhaps the Martial Way would have become the Blue Star Federation's number one transcendent profession!

"This kind of large-scale event... the schedule is very long; dragging it out for a few years is very normal."

Fang Xing looked at the time for the next match and found it was three days later.

"Just right to slowly hone my Martial Way!"

Cultivation World.

The Land of Raw Wilderness.

This place, where Fang Xing started, had long since been abandoned, and one could only faintly see some broken walls and ruins.

Although it had undergone several developments, they all ended in failure in the end.

This is also the norm for cultivators developing the Land of Raw Wilderness—every large-scale opening of land is accompanied by countless blood and tears.

Even failure is a common occurrence.

Five Scorpion Valley.

Wanfa Secret Realm.

The gate of the secret realm opened with a boom, and a person resembling an old Daoist walked out; his skin was dark green, and his expression was wooden.

"Hehe..."

The old Daoist moved his throat, seemingly needing to learn to make a sound: "Finally... succeeded..."

"I want to... take back the opportunity that belongs to me!"

"I want to... achieve Nascent Soul!"

The old Daoist's eyes were dull, only occasionally emitting two points of ghostly light.

This person was precisely the split soul of 'Wanfa Shangren'.

Back then, three Nascent Soul cultivators broke into the Wanfa Secret Realm together, disrupting Wanfa Shangren's possession and reincarnation.

Wanfa Shangren's possession body was snatched away by a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Qingxuan Sect, and he also lost the most important opportunity—the Wan Hua Ding!

However, he had long practiced the art of split souls and possessed two great split souls.

One split soul was destroyed by Fang Xing, and the other was still in the Wanfa Secret Realm.

And in desperation, he chose to possess the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Black Sky Temple, Old Daoist Wu.

It was not until today that he finally succeeded!

Wanfa Shangren's lifespan had long since been exhausted, and he had transformed into a ghost cultivator.

Ghost cultivators have many restrictions; not only is their divine sense ignorant, but they also cannot leave their place of birth too far.

However, Wanfa Shangren solved this problem through a secret technique he created.

As he is now, he can neither be considered a Nascent Soul cultivator nor a ghost cultivator.

He can only be called a 'strange object' that is half-human and half-ghost!

By this time, he was supported by only a few obsessions.

"Wanfa Shangren... you really did practice that divine art within three years and successfully broke through!"

A breeze blew by, transforming into the figure of a woman; she was the Master of the Wind Department of the Wan Xiang Sect, at the late stage of Nascent Soul!

Although she had told Master Long that she would delay the Si Si Tian Jian Sect army of Fu Hongyi for four years.

But in reality... it only took less than three years!

"Transcending in the yin, the divine elephant is unclear, the ghost pass has no surname, the three mountains have no name, not entering reincarnation, ultimately having nowhere to return..."

The Master of the Wind Department stared at 'Wanfa Shangren' as if looking at a perfect work of art, her eyes filled with eagerness: "Shangren is worthy of being a heaven-sent talent... taking another step on the path of ghost cultivation; perhaps it can be named 'Ghost Immortal'..."

"I..."

Wanfa Shangren moved his stiff neck, his speech becoming more and more fluent: "If it weren't for your Wan Xiang Sect sponsoring me with that treasure... I probably still wouldn't be able to escape the shackles... but unfortunately, this is not a perfect path; as I am now, rather than saying I am me, it is better to say that the former Wanfa Shangren is already dead, and what is here now is a ghost—formed by the fusion of a remnant soul of Wanfa Shangren, Old Daoist Wu, and Yin Evil Qi!"

"Regardless, don't forget the agreement with our Supreme Elder... with your current cultivation, below Nascent Soul, all can be killed! This time, the Si Si Tian Jian Sect must suffer a great loss!" the graceful woman, the Master of the Wind Department, giggled.

The Eighteen Heaven-Turning Golden Corpse Array was naturally real, but it was not the Wan Xiang Sect's true trump card.

When two Nascent Soul sects go to war, there must be more than one contingency plan.

As the most important winning move and the trump card to reverse the situation, one cannot prepare only one.

As the Master of the Wind Department among the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning departments under the Wan Xiang Sect, the woman knew many secrets.

She knew even better that things like the Eighteen Heaven-Turning Golden Corpses were more like diversions.

What the Wan Xiang Sect invested the most in was the Wanfa Secret Realm!

"Agreement?"

Wanfa Shangren's eyeballs rolled, a green light wrapped around his whole body, and he suddenly disappeared.

By the time he appeared again, he had already arrived behind the Master of the Wind Department, and a bone claw that was gloomy, cold, and burning with ink-green flames grabbed directly at the graceful woman.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The breeze blew.

The Master of the Wind Department stood in another void, a smile appearing on her face: "Wanfa Shangren, this is you violating the blood contract first!"

She shouted sharply, and a strange document appeared in her hand.

This document was entirely crimson, as if dyed with fresh blood, and there were many strange restriction spells around it.

At the top of the document, there was even a vivid ghost head pattern.

"Go!"

The Master of the Wind Department formed seals with both hands, and her late-stage Nascent Soul magic power poured into the blood contract document like a long river.

A ferocious and terrifying blue-black ghost head emerged, its forehead grew horns, and it suddenly opened its bloody mouth, drilling into 'Wanfa Shangren's' body.

"A curse ghost?"

A look of aftertaste appeared on Wanfa Shangren's face: "It is indeed a rare delicacy..."

"How is this possible? You are actually not affected by the blood contract backlash?"

The Master of the Wind Department was greatly shocked.

"... I am neither human nor ghost; the blood contract can no longer bind me."

'Wanfa Shangren' sneered: "This curse ghost is not bad; it can provide me with nourishment... I presume your true pill also tastes quite delicious."

He suddenly opened his mouth, and a tongue like an arrow pierced through space and arrived!

The Master of the Wind Department formed seals with both hands, and a cyan Wind Spirit Bead emerged, transforming into streams of tornado-like winds, firmly guarding herself.

Seeing this scene of 'Wanfa Shangren' displaying his great power, a smile appeared on her face instead: "You really did swallow the curse ghost!"

"What? Not good!"

'Wanfa Shangren' was startled, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

His abdomen suddenly exploded, revealing half of a broken blood-colored inkstone.

A phantom curse ghost covered in various curse seals howled and pounced on the blood-colored inkstone, gnawing at it in large mouthfuls.

In the blink of an eye, this curse ghost actually seemed to be about to merge with that blood-colored inkstone.

"Ghost-Merging Inkstone?"

Wanfa Shangren's expression was stiff, but he still revealed a look of shock and anger: "This strange treasure is very useful for me to merge my ghost body; although I knew you sent this item with ill intentions, I used countless techniques and secret arts and didn't discover any problems..."

"Hehe, Shangren is after all only from a Nascent Soul sect; you don't know the methods of my Nascent Soul great sect... The 'Ghost-Merging Inkstone' is naturally not fake, but it has one taboo: it cannot come into contact with a curse ghost, especially a curse ghost that contains its own bloodline contract."

The Master of the Wind Department answered with a smile, her face full of an expression of watching a good show.

At this time, accompanied by a shrill howl, a ghost head had appeared on that Ghost-Merging Inkstone at some unknown time.

This ghost head had a blue face and fangs, exceptionally ferocious, and its face was full of various curse seal marks.

Wanfa Shangren let out a strange cry, transformed into a beam of emerald light, and wanted to flee for his life.

But at this time, pillars of pitch-black light soared into the sky, actually transforming into a great array, resembling a giant bowl turned upside down, shrouding the exit of the Wanfa Secret Realm and making it impossible for him to escape.

"Rise!"

A token appeared in the Master of the Wind Department's hand, and pillars of light emerged, crossing and falling.

"Drink!"

Wanfa Shangren's hair exploded, his full head of hair dancing wildly, and the magic power fluctuation on his body actually faintly broke through the limit of the Nascent Soul peak, entering a brand new realm.

A terrifying sense of oppression came, making the Master of the Wind Department almost think she was facing her own Supreme Elder.

"Die!"

She hurriedly formed seals with both hands, her magic power pouring out as if it were free...

Half an hour later.

"I am not reconciled..."

Accompanied by a shrill roar, Wanfa Shangren's body turned to ashes under a purple heavenly thunder.

And in the ashes, another palm-sized cyan 'infant' emerged.

It was ignorant and confused, and was wrapped into a ball by the Master of the Wind Department, who formed seals with both hands and conjured countless black fine threads.

"Finally done..."

The Master of the Wind Department looked at the pitch-black ball in her hand, her face full of joy, and even carrying a trace of greed: "Using our sect's 'Ghost-Merging Inkstone', combined with Wanfa Shangren's divine soul, and many rare materials, we finally refined this 'Divine Infant' according to the records of the 'Mysterious Evil Divine Infant Great Law'... It was worth the Supreme Elder taking action himself to restrain True Monarch Chu... and it was worth me risking my life to sneak into this Land of Raw Wilderness!"

"It's just that... not following the regular process, taking a crooked path, this Divine Infant seems more appropriately called a 'Ghost Infant'... but this 'Ghost Infant' is also enough to allow me to possess 'False Infant' combat power after refining it..."
